The Right

Most activities are done outside the home often make the skin exposed to UV light. Exposure UV light excessively or in a long time can cause the occurrence of skin disorders such as Sunburn, premature aging, lowering skin immunity to skin cancer. In preventing the negative effects of UV light on the skin, various ways can be done such as by using a protector such as clothes, hats, glasses or umbrellas. But this physical protection is not sufficient because of the UV light penetrating power. Sunscreen is a skin care cosmetic that provides physical protection against UV light. Proper use of sunscreen and routine can protect the skin from the negative effects of UV light. This paper describes the effects of UV light on the skin, the function of sunscreen and the right use and compatible types sunscreen in maintaining skin health from the adverse effects of UV light.

Melanoma, the most fatal form of skin cancer, is rising at rates faster than all other preventable cancers in the United States. Childhood exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light increases the risk for skin cancer as an adult, therefore, starting positive sun protection habits early may be key to reducing the incidence of this disease. The Environmental Protection Agency’s SunWise School Program, a national environmental and health education program for sun safety of children in primary and secondary schools (Grades K–8), was evaluated. Pretests ( n =4,559) and posttests ( n =4,016) were completed by students from 85 schools in 35 states. Significant increases were noted for the three knowledge variables. Intentions to play in the shade increased from 70% to 76% ( p <0.001) with more modest changes in intentions to use sunscreen. Attitudes regarding the healthiness of a tan also decreased significantly. Brief, standardized sun protection education can be efficiently interwoven into existing school curricula and result in increases in knowledge and positive intentions for sun protection.

Exposure to UV light remains the major modifiable risk factor for skin cancer. Studies have shown that adolescents do not adequately use sun protection and frequently engage in tanning behaviors. This article will reinforce the known approaches to avoiding the hazards of UV light and provide tips and tricks that health care providers should emphasize to their adolescent patients.
